I love the Octopus cover, Duke, Abbey Road, Thrak, Physical Graffiti, the Stones' Let it Bleed (the back too), also fond of CSN&Y's Deja Vu

Original cover of the following had turquoise print  - which IMHO is much better than the susequent and familar orange print.
Led Zeppelin,Led Zeppelin - Turquoise Lettering VG,UK,Deleted,LP RECORD,341231
 
 
 
 
Cream Disraeli Gears
